Albums | re:abel drops “Concentrate”
Posted by VMan on December 6, 2023
re:abel is a project from Melbourne newcomer Ryan Gasparini who is crafting a unique blend of Future/UK Garage electronica, which has a sound that can be likened to a mix between Overmono, Burial and Joy Orbison. Just last month Ryan teamed up with Mammal Sounds Records for an uplifting atmospheric release called ‘Carbonceramics’, which also came with news of a three-track ep coming our way soon. This week he is giving us the second taste of that EP with the subtly darker and explorative sounds. “Concentrate” by re:abel is available everywhere now via Mammal Sounds Records, tune in above now and read a quote from him on the release below!
“‘Concentrate’, the second single from this release, assumes a much darker, brooding presence than the single ‘Carbonceramics’ that came before. Building with broken UKG style drums and echoes of reverb drenched vocals, before dropping into hard-hitting sub bass and dub-inspired chords, that transport you to rainy city streets and neon-lit underground bass music clubs.”
Indie | Dennyiah Drop Video for “Sense Of The Rain”
Posted by VMan on January 7, 2022
Slovakian indie band Dennyiah return with one of their most captivating and hybrid releases to date, “Sense of the Rain”. This is the first piece of music I’ve heard by the band but this one is something unique and a great listen. Dennyiah, consisting of lead vocalist Denny and guitarist Lubos, the two-piece fuse pop, soul, country and blues to create their distinctive style and are known for never being limited to one sound. Tune into the visual for “Sense of the Rain” above now and read a quote from Dennyiah below on the release!
“It’s about the elusive sensation of an invincible life force coming from within. Losing the ego and idealised and pre-constructed idea of self. That’s when nothing around changes. The only thing that changes is your perception and the fact that it doesn’t have the power to go under your skin anymore because it’s always been disconnected from the true within. Bad things good things – it’s all the same – what matters is how much you let it drag you down. This song speaks about the short moment of enlightenment, about the deep connection to everything without the heaviness of reaction.”
Electronic | Villms Creates Feel-Good Future Bass Remix Of Steve James’s “Renaissance”
Posted by VMan on December 5, 2016
Up-and-coming DJ/producer Villms takes a shot at remixing Steve James’s “Renaissance”, he’s on to something. The solo producer has relatable story – he’s single, young, an undergrad, essentially a bedroom producer, and has a mad passion to get his music out there and climb the ranks.
“Renaissance Ft. Clairity (Villms Remix)” takes the hit song and adds smooth future bass chords and high pitched vocals within the drop, as well as fresh drums attached to the original throughout. The elements are common in 2016, but undoubtedly enhance the vibe of the original.
Villms doesn’t look to be slowing anytime soon, catch more of his new music in 2017 and enjoy his latest remix above.

Electronic, Hip-Hop | New Act Xia Xia Technique Drop Surprise Music Video For “Let Me Show U (How 2 Cut)”
Posted by VMan on November 2, 2016
Not much is known about this group, but Xia Xia Technique is making moves – boldly dropping a music video alongside one of their newest tracks “Let Me Show U (How 2 Cut)”, one of only two singles XXT has revealed.
“Let Me Show U (How 2 Cut)” features Psycho Flower as the MC and her guest Sakura, (though it is a 3 member group) as thet pay homage to the 90’s style acid-stained music videos. The animation found within are certainly a trip. The overall sound of “Let Me Show U (How 2 Cut)” is drastically different, which I like, the single has a modern hip-hop voice atop, but the beat is just out there, I suppose experimental electronica would be the best way to describe it, with a dash of live drums in there too.
The vibe is chill, but the voice is empowering, and drop is trippy – an overall dope fusion of experimental sides of the dance music spectrum.
